ARRANGING THE HAIR. 
A writer in St. Pauls has furnished the 
following hints and opinions upon this im¬ 
portant, subject to ladies:—Wo are often 
annoyed by the incapacity to see what is 
becoming to tlio face, or the reverse, as 
well us the utter disregard of anatomy, 
evinced by the pcrnupifr.rs and their pitia¬ 
bly blind and thoughtless victim. Worse 
than the stupid sheep that lights to follow 
its fellows to the slaughter-house, when a 
means of escape offers itself in another di¬ 
rection, is the woman who, never having 
studied any rules of art, wastes or deforms 
the personal advantages nature may have 
bestowed upon her, by following a fashion 
which is unsuited to her, because it is the 
fashion. When the style, beautiful aud 
simple in itself, but usually most trying to 
the English face, of wearing all the hair 
scraped back, and bound into a circle of 
close plaits behind, came in, ten years ago, 
every woman discarded the slovenly net 
that had been ruining tho backs of her 
dresses for two years, and scraped her hair 
tight: to her skull. She was right to discard 
tho net; but she was mad to force tho clas¬ 
sic style, upon herself, bon. (ire, null gre. 
he should give her his right arm; also if the 
lady’s right eye is imperfect. There is no 
rule which circumstances dp not modify. 
3. “ When at the table and one is request¬ 
ed to pass anything, should it be to the 
right or the left?" 
If the host or hostess docs not specify to 
whom the article should be passed, the 
gentleman should serve first the lady who 
accompanies him; in the absence of any 
such companion, to tho lady nearest him, 
whether: to the right or left. 
4. “When one meets a young lady, is it 
or is it not the gentleman’s place to speak 
lirst? ” 
rt, is the lady’s place to give tho gentle¬ 
man recognition before he speaks, unless 
she should happen to be an intimate friend, 
when he may presume to speak on the 
strength of such friendship. Hut where 
there is only a formal acquaintance it is re¬ 
garded as politely deferential to await 
recognition aud speech by the lady before 
speaking to her.

still let her disregard tho fashion, and make 
a point of showing a charm that is exceed¬ 
ingly rare. It would bo simply waste and 
ruin to pad it into all sorts of shape. 
One word against the huge bundles of 
false hair now worn. Far be it from tne to 
over-oondemn the practice of wearing false 
hair. This fashion will never go out while 
hair is considered a “glory “to a woman, 
and while, through age and other causes, 
the glory is liable to become “ Ichabod,” 
and to fall off. 
Moreover, there are cases (since caps arc 
not in use) in which a few bands of extra 
tresses are more than an improvement, 
even a necessity; witness a very scanty 
supply of hair, or hair in patches, on a 
young head. And tho practice is not a 
dirty one, as has been unjustly asserted, 
any more than wearing one's own hair. Uo- 
sides, if one is careful and patient enough to 
collect it, one need never wear anything 
but one’s own hair. 
But, O, woman! beware of piling on your 
head a greater mass of hair than a human 
head is able to grow. The huge plaits of 
three, stuffed and padded, which tire so 
ohvlounly artificial; tho mighty cables, half 
as thick as one’s arm. that rise up aloft, aud 
swell out behind, till the effect of them, 
merely as a burden, not a beauty, is quite 
painful to the eye, in addition to rows of 
ringlets, which, in themselves, would re¬ 
quire the whole head of hair to form them; 
these debased fashions arc a few of the 
many that detract from the beauty of the 
head and face, instead of enhancing it, im¬ 
posed by foolish women on themselves. 
The eye soon becomes vitiated, and does 
not perceive, in fact, tho vulgar and pain¬ 
ful effect that is instantly apparent to an¬ 
other. 
QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE. 
“A Youno Header ” asks the following 
questions: 
1. “When one meets an elderly gentle¬ 
man or lady from 45 to 70 years old, is it 
one’s place to speak or bow, or is it theirs ? " 
It is always proper and polite to bow 
deferentially to a man or woman older than 
yourself, without waiting for recognition; 
but it is etiquette to wait for such per¬ 
sons to speak lirst unless one has a special 
message to communicate, or is very inti¬ 
mately acquainted, 
“ When a gentleman takes a young 
lady to supper, which arm should he give 
her—the right or left ? ’’ 
The left is usually given; but it is not an 
important point in etiquette. If the gen¬ 
tleman happens to be deaf in his left ear,
